The equation that helps us to identify the type and complexity of the differential equation is the order and degree of a differential equation.
The highest order of the derivative that appears in the differential equation is the order of a differential equation.

The highest power of the highest order derivative that appears in a differential equation is the degree of a differential equation. Its degree is always a positive integer.
